Using Audio on Your Web Page 27
An embedded player is best inserted using Dreamweaver??™s ActiveX object??”the embedded player consists
of two ActiveX objects, one for the player control (or controls) and one for the audio file itself. The separation
of content and player makes it easy to link the content to a data source while maintaining the same
control panel.
ActiveX objects can only be displayed/played in Internet Explorer on Windows; Netscape does
not support ActiveX, and it is not supported on the Macintosh.
If desired, your design may include a single control panel or a series of controls??”play, stop, fast-forward,
rewind, and so on??”all affecting your audio. The two key RealAudio parameters are controls and console.
The controls parameter sets the type of control being inserted; the console parameter indicates
which embedded audio file is being played.
To embed a RealAudio file with separate controls, you must follow a two-phase procedure. First, embed the
actual audio file or, if the source is dynamic, a link to a data source.
